When you run a business, the safety of your employees should be one of your top priorities. Your staff will be happier and more productive if they know there are commercial security measures in place to protect them. Here are some steps you can take.

How to Keep Your Employees Safe at Work

1. Switch to an Electronic Access System

Controlling who has access to certain areas in your business is essential to commercial security. By using an electronic security system with key fobs or access cards, you can limit the number of people who enter particular parts of your building and monitor who comes and goes. Only people who need access receive a key fob or access code.

2. Install Surveillance Cameras 

No matter how vigilant you are, you can’t keep your eyes on every part of your business all the time. With multiple surveillance cameras, you or your staff can watch for suspicious activity. If any security breaches occur, the footage can be reviewed for evidence. Have a commercial security company install a surveillance system that monitors all entrances and other crucial areas of your business.

3. Provide Adequate Lighting

If your business closes late at night or has overnight shifts, your staff should feel secure on the premises after dark. Make sure your parking lot is well-lit so employees can monitor their surroundings as they come and go. Install motion-activated lights to draw attention to any unexpected movement. You should also install emergency lighting inside the building for employee safety in a power outage.
